TO whOm it y 007%007'! but which will essentially be of the same size Be it known that I, GEORGE F. BAGBY, a and shape as the opening B, above referred citizen of the United States, residing at Lima, to. Grouped on the back O and radiating in the county of Allen and State of Ohio, from the edges of the mirror are a plurality have invented a new and useful Improveof double-flanged channel-ways E, those 55 ment in Advertising Devices, of which the folgrouped upon the same side of the mirror belowing is a specification. ing parallel to each other. A fastener F of The object of this invention is a frame deany desired type is arranged upon the upper signed for the displaying of advertisingedge of the back C and is adapted to lock the cards, the said rack or frame being provided back to the top member of the frame A. 60 with a mirror, umbrella-stand, and hooks for The lower horizontal member A of the hats, whereby various persons are attracted frame A is arranged slightly above the lower to the frame bearing the advertising-cards. ends of the side members A but adjacent The device is designed for use in public and the lower edge of the lower member of the semipublic places, such as hotels, barberframe A, and a front board G is carried by 65 shops, railway-stations, and the like. the front edge of the memberA ,its ends bear- The invention consists in the novel feaing on the inner faces of the side members turesof construction andcombinationofparts A and its lower edge being flush with the hereinafter set forth, particularly pointed out lower ends of the said side members. It will in the claims, and shown in the accompanying be obvious that by this construction a trough 7o drawings, in which H is provided accessible from the front of the Figure 1 is a perspective view showing one frame and forming a receptacle into which end and the front face of my device.

The side members A are extended down- Fig. 3 is a detail face elevation showing the ward by means of supporting-legs J, which strips for holding the cards in place.

Along the front of the board G, I arrange a In constructing my device I employ a recplurality of hooks arranged in pairs, the hook tangular frame A, and within this frame I members K of each pair being turned in o arrange a second frame A, having its memposite directions, and on one of the 'si e bers disposed at right angles to the members pieces or members A are arranged a plural- 5 0f the frame A. \Vithin the frame A is arity of hooks L in vertical alinement.

Oenare stood. The supportingdegs J are protrally arranged upon and secured to this vided on their inner faces with pins J, which back is a mirror D, which may be of any deengage a bayon et-slot M formed in each end 5 o sired size and shapesquare, oblong, or oval of the trough M. To hold the device in posi- 10o tion, I also connect to the side members A a chain N, as shown in Fig. 1.

Cards containing advertisements are held in position around the mirror and are displayed within the frame A by sliding their edges under the flanges of the channel-ways E. A discharge-spout O is provided for draining the trough M.

The utility of advantages of the device are, it is thought, obvious.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A device of the kind described comprising a frame, a glass plate therein centrally cut out, a swinging back, a mirror arranged upon the back adapted to aline with the opening in the glass, and means carried by the back around the mirror adapted to hold cards, as and for the purpose set forth.
